Well, Governor Do-You-Know-Who-My-Daddy-Is is at it again. When I returned to Nebraska from the failed experiment of living in Texas for a few years, I took one look around and realized the state I returned to was not the same state I left. In Texas I had Rick Perry to deal with, but even that […]
Well, the good news is, we avoided voting in an unrepentant homophobe as our next Mayor. The bad news is, we still have a Cyndi Lamm problem. Last week, we at Seeing Red received an email from a mother who needs to work with the Autism Family Network to get a Project Lifesaver bracelet for […]

Today, we’re going to share with you one of our many lady crushes on Nebraska’s ballot: Machaela Cavanaugh. In District 6, Cavanaugh is running against Ricketts’ appointee Theresa Thibodeau for a seat in the legislature representing central/West-Central Omaha (LD6). And folks, Nebraska needs Cavanaugh and we announce our endorsement today. She is dedicated to the […]
You already knew Nebraska was unique, but did you know that we’re the only state in the union that derives all of its electricity from publicly owned utilities? That sounds boring, but actually it’s pretty awesome. In other states, private companies own all or part of the electrical grid and the plants which generate that […]
This piece was co-authored by Amanda Gailey and Julia Schleck, both of whom have interest in free speech and academic freedom. Ron Brown is returning to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as Director of Player Development under new head coach Scott Frost.
